NPC was happy to have a booth at the Kingsburg PRIDE celebration this afternoon as a resource for all things mental health!

As NPC's founders, Tony and Bonnie Redfern, transition into retirement, some have asked, "What will become of New Path Center?" We are pleased that the vision and mission of New Path Center will continue. Click the link to learn more about this journey.

It seems the older one gets, the harder it is to remember things, like what one did last month or last summer. Yet, without a doubt, we remember exactly what we were doing sixteen years ago. It was when the dream of founding a nonprofit, to meet the needs of those who experience difficult life situa...

Getting asked for donations from your favorite organizations? Good news -- Congress changed the tax rules for charitable donation deductions for 2020!

Taxpayers can deduct up to $300 in charitable donations even if they take the standard deduction. This is a big deal! The change makes charitable giving an above-the-line deduction, which means it reduces your gross income dollar-for-dollar, and can reduce your tax liability and might increase the benefits you get from certain tax credits.

Your donation to a tax-exempt (501c3) organization has to be cash (check or credit card okay) - no donations of stock or noncash donations. Keep your receipt!

We hope you will consider giving to New Path Center in Kingsburg, CA.

Amy Prieb was a therapist at New Path Center before moving to the Pacific Northwest area. She provides excellent therapy for couples, and is offering this workshop now online.

FAQ about Hold Me Tight:

Question: Will we have to talk in front of other couples about our relationship?

Answer: Heck no!!! This is NOT group therapy. It is an educational workshop. We present information to you in an engaging and informative way and then you and your partner take the workbook and go have a guided conversation, privately.

Question: Is this only for couples whose relationship is in serious trouble?

Answer: Absolutely not. HMT is for any couple, in any stage of relationship who want to tune up, renew, restore, experience forgiveness, reconnect, increase intimacy. Over the years I believe we have had couples in every stage of relationship, including some divorced couples who came to the workshop and decided to reconcile, engaged couples, newly dating couples and everything in between.

Question: Can we be anonymous?

Answer: When we do this live, that is tricky. We only ask people to give a first name but in person, unless you wear a disguise it's not a guarantee. For the virtual workshop, if you prefer to have your camera off and give fake names, that works!!!

Question: Do we have to watch it live?

Answer: I think it is better to be there live, however, again, one of the benefits of virtual is that we will record it and if you have to miss it live, you can watch the recording later. This will not allow you to ask any questions you might have in real time, but it still gives you the information and presentation.

Thank you, Dr. Alan Wolfelt, for your gentle and wise words during this difficult time dealing with a pandemic.

by Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D.   Alongside the physical pandemic, the novel coronavirus is causing a pandemic of grief. That’s what we’re all feeling right now—grief. It’s important to recognize that. Grief is everything we think and feel inside of us whenever our attachments are threatened, har...

Tony (MA ’04) and Bonnie Redfern (MA ’03) are the founders of New Path Center in Kingsburg, CA, which is a place of hope in the areas of counseling, training, mediation and restorative justice. In 1996, Tony and Bonnie lost their only son, Scott, in a tragic accident when he was just 16 years old. Since then, they have been on a journey, not only of grief, but of theology and reconciliation. Both Bonnie and then Tony earned master’s degrees in Conflict and Peacemaking, and they eventually founded New Path Center in 2005. New Path Center, where transformation is the destination, has grown to include a counseling center, training and support groups, a police referral program, Kingsburg Care and Service Network, community justice conferences and community service referrals for juvenile offenders. God has used Tony and Bonnie to minister and bless countless people through their own grief and beyond. Way to go, Tony and Bonnie!
